Overview: The Pediatrics Residency of Idaho (PRI) is the first Pediatrics ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) accredited program of sponsoring institution Full Circle Health, Inc. (FCH) (formerly the Family Medicine Residency of Idaho, Inc.). PRI will begin training its first class of four Residents on July 1, 2023 and will be at full complement of 12 Residents training by July 1, 2025. The THCGME funding from this grant opportunity will allow FCH to establish this program and healthcare training in the only Pediatric Residency program in Idaho and across the Northern Rockies and Northern Great Plains. Idaho ranks last for pediatricians per 100K children (43.8 per 100K) with the national rate at 104.6 per 100K. This area has previously been a desert for pediatrics training, and thus numerous states in the region have among the lowest rates in the country of pediatricians per 100,000 children. PRI is located at FCH’s Boise Pediatrics Clinic in Boise, Idaho which is scheduled to open December 2022. The total number of new patients projected to be served annually is 2,970 and the estimated number of existing FCH patients who would transfer their care to the new location is 990. Of the total projected patients, we anticipate 45% of patients with incomes at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. FCH is a Primary Care HPSA as a Federally Qualified Health Center (ID11699916A1) with a score of 15. PRI is located in Boise, Ada County, Idaho and home to 237,446 people comprised of White (88.0%), Hispanic or Latino (9.0%), Asian (3.1%), Black or African American (1.6%), and American Indian and Alaska Native (.7%), with 20% of persons under 18 years of age and 5% under five years of age. Data is also able to show us a large population in Ada County who are under 19 years of age children and Medicaid (21,627), and uninsured children with no health insurance coverage (4,999). Ada County, Idaho’s population estimate of 511,931 people makes it Idaho’s most populated county with 27% of the state’s Residents. Southwest Boise and southeast Meridian are experiencing large population growth and of existing pediatric practices, almost all are no longer accepting or significantly restricting Medicaid patients at this time. 8. Total resident FTE positions requested to be funded under this program for all post-graduate years of training resident FTE above the baseline resident FTEs trained by the program in AY 2018-2019: 12 (4-4-4).
